A man reunited with his childhood nanny after 30 years after her Facebook post was shared 56,000 times

A man has been reunited with his childhood nanny more than 30
years after they were separated, thanks to a post that got more
than 55,000 shares on Facebook.

The fascinating story comes from Logroño, Spain, and has been reported by El Pais, which witnessed
the historic meeting between Francisco Javier Gimenez Diaz, now
35, and Yeny Zaera, his childhood nanny.

On February 20, Yeny wrote in a post on her Facebook page how she hadn't
seen the children she used to look after because they had been
adopted by other families, and she was not able to get in touch
with them.

But the post was shared 56,336 times and, in less than three
days, Diaz managed to get in touch.

Here is how that post appears now on Zaera's page,
after it had been updated announcing the two had found each
other:

In 1985 Francisco's mother disappeared with another man and the
tribunal ordered that the four children had to be adopted. Yeny
presented her request to take Francisco with her but failed it,
as she was a single woman in her twenties, and without a full
time job. Her own parents were judged "too old" to take care of
the child.

The four children were sent to different families in different
regions, and Yeny lost track of them, although never forgot. Not
even a private detective, hired by Yeny some time after the
separation, was able to re-connect the pair.
